I enjoy the Salads and Gumbo,and great servers

I have lived in Owensboro my whole life and have frequented Colbys on many many occasions. I am only writing this to bring awareness. I came to the restaurant and are crowded in with others waiting for our table to be ready. There is a small section to wait but many many open booths. Why cant we sit and wait at the table? Why must 20 individuals wait all standing when there are many more open tables than filled. Once seated we come to a table. I ask if we can sit at a booth, as again, there are literally 20+ open booths. The server is annoyed I can tell and explains the kitchen is short staffed. I dont follow how that connects to booths so I look confused. She then asks me if I have ever waited tables before and tries to explain to me for 5 mins why the booths cant be sit at (I still dont know why). She says she will ask the front of the house if its okay to find me a booth. I say no its fine, as I can tell she is really annoyed with my asking, she says no I insist. We are now able to get a booth. As we sit we see our new waitress come around and say “this is my area!” When she comes to us she looks visibly annoyed and stayed that way throughout the course of the meal. So while the food was good the rest of the experience was not. The seating situation needs to be addressed as well as the attitude of some of these employees.

Best gumbo this side of New Orleans. Great servers always clean Wheelchair accessibility: They are wheelchair accessible

The food was delicious! Salmon and gumbo were soooo goood! The key lime pie and carrot cake were amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Our server, Molly was great!
